best LED-backlit TVs

The feature set on this TV is extensive - 240mhz refresh rate, 50K pixels, 3D, wireless.

If you have non-Sony equipment BUT STILL USE HDMI, it may support CEC anyway and work similarly with the added time of getting programming codes.

HDMI-CEC works well.

Among the NX720's numerous picture presets we ended up preferring Cinema for dark-room critical viewing, but it did exhibit dark gamma in the middle areas and a too-bright overall image for dark rooms.

In default Movie mode the Samsung was characteristically accurate enough, delivering a relatively smooth grayscale overall, albeit a bit minus-red, and gamma that came close to our target.

We used the Expert settings to make improvements during calibration and, as long as we kept the Local Dimming setting to Low, they worked well, delivering a smooth gamma and excellent color.

DLNA streaming leaves a little be desired because it doesn't support MKV files, XVID, or other popular video formats.

The picture quality is excellent, the colors seem bright and accurate.

#########. While I'm a fan of PASSIVE 3D, I've been very very pleased with this TV's ACTIVE 3D.
